C7 Details Determine Success or Failure!
Xia Qingfeng stood beside the rock and looked up at the sky. After a long while, he sighed heavily.
…
There were only a few pieces of red charcoal left in the fire ditch. If he didn’t hurry up and add more branches, the fire would be extinguished.
However, he had used up all the branches he had saved up last night. The branches he had used to build the shelter were too wet, so he couldn’t light them up.
So, the first thing he did after waking up was to eat a coconut. It was basically his breakfast. Then, he ran towards the forest. He had already picked up most of the branches in the forest.
He could only walk deeper into the forest.
This time, he was lucky. Not only did he find a large amount of branches, but he also found a vine.
He used a military knife to cut off the vine and tied it together with the branches. This way, he could bring it back. It was almost twice the amount of branches he had used last night.
These branches weren’t heavy, and he could hold them with his hands. However, the branches were too big for him to carry. If he carried too much, he would fall and affect his movements.
With this vine, he could carry these branches behind his back and quickly return to his temporary shelter.
He carefully used some small branches to light the fire, then added more branches. The fire finally started to burn.
By then, the sky was already bright and the sun was slowly rising from the east.
As the golden sunlight shone on the ground, the entire island was covered in a layer of dream-like golden light.
To be honest, if he had not been stranded on this island due to a sea accident, the scenery here would be extremely beautiful. The coconut trees, beaches, and seagulls were dancing in the air, and the sun was shining brightly.
The fire could still be ignited for a while. Xia Qingfeng looked at the three coconuts he had left and decided not to cut them down for the time being.
Therefore, he ran to the beach and saw the corpse of the dead warrior again.
This time, he dragged two long branches that were covered in green leaves and covered the warrior’s corpse with them. He had originally wanted to bury the warrior’s corpse.
However, after thinking about it for a while, he decided that perhaps the rescue team would come today. At that time, he could leave. Of course, the warrior could also return to his hometown.
He walked for a long time by the beach and chased after the waves. He picked up a lot of shells and sea stars. He even managed to catch a half-foot long octopus with his luck. This place was not like the tourist attractions, where there was nothing.
No one had been here before, so it was relatively easy to obtain food and seafood.
After bringing the seafood back, he ate a slab of stone barbeque. Although it was tasteless and smelled fishy, he felt warm in his stomach after eating it. His body was filled with energy.
He looked at the system screen and saw that his vitality had reached 7.8, his soul force had reached 3.9.
‘Fragrant’!
Xia Qingfeng shouted in his heart!
Since he had eaten and drank enough, he should get to work. He tightened the military dagger in his hand and walked towards the forest.
He had picked up some dead branches and had more or less figured out the distribution of the forest. There were not many trees as thick as his arms, only four or five.
He found a tree as thick as his arms as his target. He pulled out the military dagger and started to cut the tree. He knew some skills when it came to cutting trees. After all, his father had been doing survival programs in the wilderness all day long. Even if he did not watch, he would have known by listening to his ears.
The military dagger in his hand was not a professional axe to cut trees, so it was a little awkward to use it. But the principle of cutting trees was the same. He squatted slightly and waved the military dagger in a 45-degree angle. When he was about half a meter away from the ground, the dagger cut into the ground three to four centimeters deep.
He pulled out the military dagger with great force and then squatted on the ground. He waved the dagger from the bottom up and fiercely cut the tree trunk. This time, it was also a 45-degree angle, but it was from the bottom up. It was almost the same as the previous one.
One slash, one slash, one slash. Wood chips flew everywhere, and with a few slashes, a hole was made in the tree trunk. The bark fell off. Then, the same action was performed on the back of the hole. At this time, the area between the trees was only about the thickness of a finger.
At this time, what Xia Qingfeng needed to do was to take two steps back, raise his foot, and use his small leather shoes to kick hard on the tree trunk, causing the tree to fall to the ground.
Immediately, another 0.7 of his health points were obtained. With the addition of health points, Xia Qingfeng's entire body was filled with strength, and he rushed towards the next tree in a few steps. These trees were all about the same size, so the health points they gave were almost all 0.7.
He chopped down three trees in one go, and accumulated his health points to 9.9.
Looking at the three trees that had fallen to the ground, he felt that it was about time. Thus, he dragged them out one by one. This time, he did not need to drag these trees back to the two boulders. As long as he left the forest a little, it would be fine.
He observed for a while.
Not far away, there was a huge boulder that was as tall as a person. This boulder was very wide and not straight, forming a corner.
Xia Qingfeng was very satisfied when he saw it. He dragged the three trees over three times.
Then, he patted his hands and walked back to the two boulders. The bonfire was still burning. He gathered the withered branches together and turned them into a huge torch. He ran over with them and placed them in the corner.
The wind was behind him, so the branches could burn very well. Seeing the withered branches burn into a bonfire, Xia Qingfeng dragged over a tree he had chopped down. He placed the branches on top of the bonfire, and immediately, a thick smoke came out.
The leaves were filled with water, so they were not easy to burn. The thick smoke was grayish-white, and it contained a lot of water vapor. It was not black smoke.
Looking at the effect of the smoke, Xia Qingfeng felt that it was okay.
The terrain was wide and close to the beach. The thick smoke was more than ten meters high, and it was blown away by the sea breeze.
He was marking the rescue team. Originally, he had thought of using stones on the beach to make a SOS signal, but that would waste too much of his strength. He would have to move a lot of stones to see the helicopter in the air.
There was another way, which was to not move the stones and find a thick branch. He could draw it on the beach, but that was not reliable. If he drew it too thin, he would not be able to see it from the sky. If he drew it too thick, the energy he would use would be greater than this bonfire.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that it was more worth it to light a bonfire.
First, this place was very close to the forest, and he did not need to transport the chopped down trees far.
Second, he could obtain vitality by chopping down trees! Was he not lucky?
He could not wait any longer. He wanted to save up 100 HP and strengthen one attribute. He wanted to feel it.
His urgent thoughts even surpassed the thought of waiting for the rescue team.
Seeing that he would not need to look after the bonfire for a short period of time, Xia Qingfeng tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand and ran into the forest.
He had already chopped down three small trees as thick as an arm. There were two more in the area where his eyes could see, and he quickly chopped down the two. Now, he was facing two choices.
One was to chop down even thicker trees. He had already found several trees as thick as a man's thigh.
The other choice was to go deeper into the forest. There must be more trees as thick as an arm deep in the forest.
He only thought about it for a moment before he gave up on this idea. Going deeper into the forest was definitely not a good idea.
Last night, he had already heard the sounds of various animals in the forest. Not to mention large carnivores like wolves and tigers, even if he encountered a wild boar, his life would be in danger. It was safer to move around the edge of the forest.
Details, details determined success. He had to pay attention to the details at all times.
Safety first.
After making his decision, Xia Qingfeng did not immediately start chopping down the trees. He needed to go back and take a look at the bonfire.
When he walked back, he saw that the leaves on the tree were almost all burnt. Some small branches were also starting to burn. The white smoke in the sky had also fallen to a height of five or six meters. How could this be? He had to ensure that it was more than ten meters above the ground. Only then would the rescue aircraft be able to see his position with a glance.
He had chopped down another tree. These were all the trees he had just chopped down. So, the branches and leaves on the bonfire were all on the side of the tree. As for the trunk, he did not plan to put it there for the time being. He would just put it there for now. As long as the rescue arrived, he would say goodbye to these things.
Xia Qingfeng could not help but look up at the sky.
Today's weather was still clear and cloudless. A few white clouds floated in the sky, forming a dream-like shape, and it was beautiful.
However, there were no helicopters as he had expected. There were only noisy seagulls flying around, making sounds.
Some of them were eyeing the seagulls flying in the sky greedily. These were all Soul Points! Unfortunately, with his small body, he could not covet these flying seagulls.
Just wait and see. Once I am saved, I will immediately find a job in a slaughterhouse. After killing pigs, sheep, cows, and cows, my vitality and soul power will soar. In a few days, I will become a superman.
Don't forget, I am a man with a cheat.
Xia Qingfeng was overjoyed in his heart. However, reality was reality. The only thing he could do now was to chop down the trees.
He had never done any heavy work since he was young. He had chopped down five trees in a row. The fingers of his right hand, which was holding the military dagger, were already covered in a few blisters. These blisters had already been worn out and yellow pus was flowing out. It was burning hot when he touched it.
He went back to the two boulders and found the shorter piece of cloth. He tied the lower hem of the clothes to his right hand and held the military dagger. He tried it out. With this layer of cloth as a protection, his hand did not hurt anymore.
Damn it!
I should have thought of this a long time ago. I wasted a lot of time.
Xia Qingfeng turned around and rushed into the forest without hesitation. He attacked a tree that was even thicker than a man's thigh. He raised his hand and slashed down, causing wood to fly everywhere. In a short while, he killed a lot of people.
